Playing big, heroic characters with heart is always a lot of fun. I enjoy making movies like that, and a lot of people love to live vicariously through those characters.

Actually, you have to be a little bit in love with your leading man and vice versa. If you’re going to portray love, you have to feel it. You can’t do it any other way. But you don’t carry it beyond the set.

I play a nobody in Japan.

Something I learned as an actor was which scenes needed to be rehearsed and which actors are good with rehearsal, which actors learn from it, and which ones grow stale because they start to second-guess themselves.

It just seems there’s better things to do in your life than be on television if it’s not interesting, if it’s not challenging, if it’s not fun. You know? When it stops being those things for me, I’ll stop making television.

I’ve been fortunate. I don’t pick scripts. Scripts pick me.

I am not someone who does a lot of exercise, so I attempt to maintain some sort of rhythm, and I think the jump rope is the funnest way. It’s easy, you can do it in your room or anywhere.

Fun is one of the most important – and underrated – ingredients in any successful venture. If you’re not having fun, then it’s probably time to call it quits and try something else.

I’d like to do a completely off-the-wall collaboration. I would like one of my songs to be the hook to a rap song. That would be so much fun!

To be honest with you, when I got into this I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

I don’t really get into a big intellectual analysis of why I am going to do a certain script or not.

I don’t know what acting is, but I enjoy it.

There is no such thing as fun for the whole family.

The greatest thing about being a comedian is knowing other comedians. And you get to talk to them. Its the most fun.

Writing is the most fun you can have by yourself.

It’s fun to be hopelessly in love. It’s dangerous, but it’s fun.

If you check your ego at the door when it comes to comedy, you’ve got a pretty good shot at making a great movie that you can commit yourself to, you can jump off the proverbial cliff with, and have a great time, and the audiences respond to that.

I am able to play monsters well. I understand monsters. I understand madmen.

Other than obvious errors like forgetting a line, often I can’t see any difference between take one and take 20.

People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.

I’m a writer, not a professional runner. It’s fun and it helps me write. I need powerful concentration.

Writing is fun – at least mostly. I write for four hours every day. After that I go running. As a rule, 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). That’s easy to manage.

Acting is happy agony.

I think we’re having fun. I think our customers really like our products. And we’re always trying to do better.

If it wasn’t for the fun and money, I really don’t know why I’d bother.

My mom always wanted me to be an actor. And I started going to theater and going on auditions young.

When I’m a director, I look at myself the actor as a completely different person. It’s somebody else up there, an actor playing a role. I keep myself out of it.

I was acting when I was playing baseball.

I wouldn’t use the word ‚scared‘ for my role as Hitchcock, but it was my most insecure. Taking on such a formidable, giant personality such as Hitchcock; he was one of the great geniuses of world cinema. Sheer genius.

Man consists of two parts, his mind and his body, only the body has more fun.

An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.

When I got into this, I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me, I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor, and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

I don’t get bored.

Because we’re actors we can pretend and fake it, but I’d rather the intimate investment was authentic.

I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.

I enjoy acting when you really hit it right.

I always play women I would date.

I would love to sign on to do a movie if it was the right role and if it was the right script, because I would be taking time away from music to tell a big grand story, and spend all of my time and pouring all of my emotions into being someone else. So for me to do that, it would have to be a story worth telling.

I became an actress because my mom wanted me to become an actress. It took me until my mid-30s to realize I actually didn’t. I actually wanted to write and direct and be more involved in politics and humanitarian issues.

There’s my personal life, my sensitive side, and then me as a performer, sexy and energised and fun.

Most of the time I don’t have much fun. The rest of the time I don’t have any fun at all.

I want to try something different in Hollywood, to tell the audience I am not just an actor star – I am an actor, too.

The Four Levels of Comedy: Make your friends laugh, Make strangers laugh, Get paid to make strangers laugh, and Make people talk like you because it’s so much fun.

You’re unlikely to discover something new without a lot of practice on old stuff, but further, you should get a heck of a lot of fun out of working out funny relations and interesting things.

That’s a traditional Samoan dance. I was lucky that I was able to fly my cousins, who are professional dancers, up from Hawaii and they were able to be in the movie with me. We had a great time.

It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.

Most of the time spent wrestling with technologies that don’t quite work yet is just not worth the effort for end users, however much fun it is for nerds like us.

I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead.

We think it’s fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That’s not our goal for Brad and me at all. I think we would both prefer that they didn’t become actors.

I once wanted to prove myself by being a great actress. Now I want to prove that I’m a person. Then maybe I’ll be a great actress.

When I started out, I didn’t have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous.

In acting, you have to pull from real-life situations, from people, to help develop a character.

‚Star Wars‘ is fun, its exciting, its inspirational, and people respond to that. It’s what they want.

I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It’s like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I’d like to play strong women who are also very feminine.

I got started as an actor when I was 12.

All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what’s sexy or cool or tough.

Acting helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things. So I’m very, very grateful; it’s a fun job. It’s a luxury.

I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one.

It takes a smart man to play dumb.

I got my buzz from playing.

See, ‚A Time to Kill‘ was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.
